my whole life i've always been a neat freak.
but within the past few years i've become more aware of my
habits. here's a list, let me know what you think:

animal abuse makes me ridiculously uncomfortable.
i tweeze my eyebrows excessively.
i obsesss over facial blemishes.
i'm really scared for my mom all the time.
at times have angry thoughts.
constant sexual thoughts.
neatness/tidiness.
i count syllables in my sentences.
i count my steps.
i count things in my head visually and
see them like dots on a pair of dice.
lip biting.
any hair that is out of place, i pick it out.
always feel like someone's watching me
i can only sleep facing my room, not the wall.
always have to have door shut at night.
i delete my calls/texts constantly
i'm always scared of getting into a car accident.
i open/close my door a bunch of times before i leave
my room to make sure the top of my snake's tank is shut
i have a constant need to clean, straighten up, improve things.

OCD?
 
Yes it does sound like OCD based on info I have from living with my Mom, and paranoia is part of OCD. There are some really good treatments for this with medication and therapy. Sometimes OCD has been linked to epilepsy because your brain is misfiring or the same thought occurs over and over. I really wish you the best.
 
yeah some are OCD
and others are paranoia

we're alike :] with the picking out hairs out of place, lip biting and the constant sexual thoughts

but if it's not OD ocd then youre fine.
 
Yes, you indeed have OCD. I have it too, and I have some of the same habits that you do.
